I decided to go through the yellow light. Well, there was a guy in an SUV coming from the other way in the other lane who wanted
to turn left, crossing my lane, but he was stuck in the middle of the intersection and his light was red.

He saw other cars beside me slowing down to stop, so he started to turn. We both slammed on our brakes to avoid a collision. Well, there was a cop behind him and he pulls me over!

So I ran a yellow light (perfectly LEGAL) this other guy runs a red light nearly causing an accident IN FRONT OF the cop (ILLEGAL)
and I get a ticket. WHAT??? That really happened and I wanted to tell EVERYONE I knew about it!

Let’s consider my options.

1. I could call people, but I don’t have everyone’s phone number and of those I do have many were working etc. I would also have
to tell the story over and over and over and over again.

2. I could tweet about it on twitter, but I’m limited to 140 characters and if that’s not enough, not even half of the people
I know are on Twitter.

3. I could post about it on Facebook, but once again, I’m limited to 420 characters, not nearly enough to tell my story, and not
everyone I know is on their either.

4. I could write an email, but I don’t have everyone’s email either and is this really something you would email people about? I mean,
some people, yeah, but not everyone.

5. I could write a blog post, but I don’t have a blog that this story would fit in with. (The average person doesn’t have a blog
either.)

I needed a solution that would allow me to tell my story ONCE and share it with everyone on Facebook, Twitter, via email, via
Telephone etc… to combine my audience in a way. But I couldn’t find a solution. I searched everywhere, nothing!

So I created the solution! It’s called QuickScrib!

http://www.QuickScrib.com/

QuickScrib is quite simply an online, sharable notepad. You just go to the site, enter a title for your “Scrib” enter the text and
click “Scrib it” and it will create a custom URL for you.

You then have the option to share your scrib on Twitter, Facebook or via email. Or you can just take your URL and share it any way
you want.

This is NOT an Internet Marketing tool and the Spam filter is always being tweaked! I do allow links, but they are all nofollowed, which means they will not offer any form of SEO benefits.

This is a great way to share a story, recipe, joke, instructions or anything else you can think of. I’m excited to launch this site and I hope you get some good use out of it. Be sure to bookmark it for future use and tell all of your friends

Just a quick reality check for you. Today I log into my Google Adwords account and find a campaign in there that I didn’t create.

That campaign had generated $1,600.00 worth of clicks to some spam site that were charged to my credit card!

Some loser got my password somehow and although it’s being investigated and that individual is going to sit in prison for a few years, I have to blame myself! It had been at least a year since I had changed that password!

So hopefully this is a good reality check for you! I’ve never given anyone access to this account, so it’s hard telling how they got it. My password should have been stronger (more characters and with letters, numbers and symbols) and I should have changed it at least a few times in the past year.

Go change your passwords for important online accounts RIGHT NOW if you haven’t for a while!

Do it regularly, use strong passwords and don’t use the same password for multiple accounts!

Hopefully my ignorance will help prevent the same thing from happening to others!

It was so funny I had to share it with you Aaron is coming up on his 2nd birthday, so you can expect to start hearing his name more often in the Internet Marketing community in the next few years.

We already got him a “Millionaire in Training” t-shirt.

So if you have a millionaire in training toddler too, you better watch out, Aaron Spaulding is learning fast!

He has to learn fast if he’s going to take over daddy’s business, so mommy and daddy can retire in the Bahamas!

P.S. oh yeah, I work online, I can retire to the Bahama’s now

In this report I put everything I’ve learned about the MMO niche from holding a top-10 ranking on Google for “make money online” (without quotes) for over 10 months, out there.

I confess how I got there, who the REAL target audience is, the amount of traffic received and I even show some interesting screenshots!

You can grab your copy now at http://www.mmonicheexposed.com/

Enjoy!

So I figured why not offer them to my good ol blog readers before I put them up on SitePoint.

If you’re interested in purchasing any or all, just reply in the comments field, submit a ticket, send me a tweet or email me. More details on traffic, income etc. with screenshots can be provided upon request.

Sites For Sale

CrackerJackSEO.com ($50, no traffic or income, but is indexed in Google)

Crackerjack: a person or thing that shows marked ability or excellence.

I was amazed that this domain wasn’t taken a couple months ago, so I grabbed it. Was going to put up a good SEO blog, but decided to continue posting SEO related topics right here instead.

ImgHold.com ($190 – 50 or so monthly visitors. Haven’t tried to sell the script, no adsense income) I purchased this site a while back with big plans, but never had the chance to do anything with it. It’s a custom built image holding script. Could be used as a public platform, could be sold as a stand-alone product…alot of possibilities. Domain and Site/script sold together.

FreeGolfSwingTips.net SOLD – I put this mini-site together a while back with some articles I had laying around. The targeted keywords weren’t researched by myself. Content is unique.

TeenPregnancyHelp.net SOLD – Same scenario as FreeGolfSwingTips.net. I put it together with some articles I had laying around. No keyword research on my part. Content is unique.

I originally frowned on the idea because in order to cover the time I would need to devote to my clients I would need to charge very high rates, like many other coaching programs out there. However, I’ve come up with a solution, which allows me to charge a MUCH lower fee and still cover my time.

What I’ve decided to do is start a private forum where I only charge $19/month, but serve a much larger audience.

I’m able to help much more people, but obviously it has to be capped to insure that I can answer every question that is asked in a timely manner.

So, the doors will be closed once it hits 100 members. I will most likely be accepting more members in the future, but I honestly don’t know when that will be.

There have been 6 members sign up since I launched it to my list only minutes ago, so the spots are going fast.

Just go to http://www.coachingwithjosh.com/ to take advantage of this opportunity while it lasts!

See you in the Forums!

Since then I’ve gotten just over 60 followers and need more people to talk to on there, so it’s time to start inviting people.

If you have a Twitter account add me. If I don’t immediately follow you just tell me to @Josh_Spaulding

See you there >>Follow Me on Twitter< <

With that in mind and at the advice of a good friend of mine, Victor Edson, I’d like to ask you what topics would you like me to cover on the blog?

Just let me know in the comment field of this post. I can’t promise to cover every request, but I can promise to keep them all in mind!

However, some people do it for the simple fact that they are thankful for the support and it’s their way of giving back and letting those supporters know that they do not go unnoticed!

With that in mind I’d like to direct your attention to a few people who have been extremely supportive of this blog in one way or another!

Caroline Middlebrook – Caroline and I have exchanged many emails. I’ve helped her and she’s helped me. She’s linked to this blog on many different occasions. There’s a good chance you started reading this blog after being pointed here by Caroline! She is a relatively “new” marketer who is truly going places in this industry and she’s doing it in an ethical manner, which is very important to me! You’ll be hearing her name alot in the Internet Marketing community in the very near future. You’ve probably already heard about her somewhere or another. Be sure to grab a copy of her Free report “How to Develop Money Making Niche Sites with WordPress.”

Chuck Brown – If you read the comment field of my posts, you’ve gotten to know Chuck He’s one heck of a good guy, with a little attitude, who has been a supporter from day one. Chuck isn’t new to the online marketing world and maintains many very impressive sites. If you want to speak with an experienced online marketer, speak with Chuck! He is also a very talented singer and voiceover talent!

Terry Heath – Terry is yet another great guy who I’ve had the privilege of getting to know and who has been a great support. Terry actually set up this blog last year when I was first getting started with blogging. He is a very talented writer and marketer and just recently acquired a great SEO blog at SEONoobs.com.

Elliott Cross – Elliott is another great guy and long-time reader and supporter of this blog. Elliott has linked to me on several occasions and although I keep meaning to, I haven’t had a change to return the favor. He has a great blog on several topics over at http://ejcross.com/. I’ve found a few great resources through his blog through his many product reviews.

Ryan Cote – Ryan is another long-time supporter who has sent some traffic this way. Unfortunately I haven’t gotten to know him yet, but I do appreciate the support! You can read his affiliate marketing blog over at http://affiliatemarketingwithryan.com/

Brent Crouch – Brent is another long-time supporter who has done extremely well on the physical product side of the house! He’s been a big supporter for a while now and I believe we’ll be learning from each other in the future. He’s expanding his business more into the electronic goods market and I plan to do the opposite in the future, which is where his expertise is. Brent is a very sharp guy who blogs over at http://www.brentcrouch.com/.

I know these recommendations don’t even skim the top of all of you who have been long-time supporters. For those of you who I didn’t mention please don’t be offended. Supporters always receive good karma in one way or another

As you see, there is a “featured product” section in the header, which I’ll be replacing with new products as I find them. It’s hard to find products I honestly recommend though, so you’ll probably see the same one for weeks at a time.

I’ll also be implementing the Gravatar system into the comments field soon, which I initially found over at SlickMania, so be sure to go sign up for a free account there so you don’t have a blank face when leaving comments

I’ve been busy working on several different projects lately, so I apologize for my lack of posting. I’ll be doing an in-depth write-up on duplicate content tomorrow, so stop by to see that!
